I have to say that this series is absolutely superb. David Attenborough is a hero of mine and has been ever since I can remember.
I’m not looking forward to this being the end of the “Life” series - still have my eyes on the complete DVD collection - The Life Collection : David Attenborough (24 Disc BBC Box Set).

Last night’s Parkinson show was genius. Everybody, apart from David Beckham, was fascinating or funny or had something to say. D.B was about as interesting as dried paint. Billy Connoly, Caine, Attenborough - all superb.

This gets me onto another subject - people who write auto-biographies (and biographies) when they are still in their twenties. They haven’t lived their lives yet - I might be interested to hear about them when they are fifty or more. I don’t want to read about the Beckhams or Katy Price etc. It’s commercialism gone rife.

I’ll miss the Parkinson show. Remembering Billy Connoly or Rod Hull/Emu brings back fond memories.
